Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Conshohocken, PA

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat a broad range of mood and anxiety disorders. From 2004 until his death in 2021, I worked with Dr. Aaron T. Beck, who is regarded as the "father" of CBT, to develop and evaluate CBT treatment protocols for many types of clientele and treatment settings. I deliver these evidence-based treatments in my clinical practice. I work well with clients who seek an active, problem-focused, and evidence-based approach to resolve their emotional distress and life problems in a warm, supportive, and compassionate environment that is focused on the cultivation of a strong therapeutic relationship.

My passion for treating teens and adults with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) comes from years of seeing clients genuinely heal from this incredibly effective approach to treatment and go on to live happy and productive lives more fulfilling than they ever thought possible.

By utilizing a combination of skills training (in an individual or group format) along with individual DBT sessions, my clients complete treatment armed with the skill-set and knowledge to reach their true potential.

How does the "talking cure" help? It might have even been called the "listening cure."

Together, we will work toward creating a new in-depth relationship which is supportive, strengthening, and enlivening.

We all have parts of ourselves that we wish we could change or simply get rid of. Sometimes, those parts are internal, like our feelings or personality traits (being a "perfectionist" or feeling too "lazy"). Other times, those parts can be external, like our relationships with work, school, and the people around us. Change can be a powerful, and even necessary, experience. But it's not always clear what kind of change we need, or how we can hope to make that change happen.

Life is complicated and it can get heavy and messy. It feels like things have been turned upside down. Some situations feel like a funhouse mirror and you want out of the funhouse but you don’t know how to find the exit. Life's tasks fall to the side. Your social life feels confusing. Hobbies feel meaningless. Self-care can be difficult. Friends and family offer their support, but their well-intentioned help doesn't always land the way you need it to. No one seems to understand what you’re going through. It's like a two-ton boulder is blocking your path. All you want to do is hide, but you know that's not who you are at your core.
